Part 1: What is the incenter of a triangle? Part 2: Where is the incenter located in relation to the triangle? I know part one is the point where the three angle bisectors of a triangle meet I am confused though of the second part. Would it be the point of congruency?

Directrix (directrix):

In relation to the triangle, the incenter will always be outside (in the exterior of) the triangle, on the triangle, or inside (in the interior of) the triangle. Draw a triangle, sketch the three angle bisectors and make an informed guess about where the incenter will always be found. Point of concurrency is the point of intersection of 3 or more segments or whatevers with a common point.

Directrix (directrix):

Post your guess and I'll tell you if your answer agrees with mine.

Directrix (directrix):

One of these three: In relation to the triangle, the incenter will always be outside (in the exterior of) the triangle, on the triangle, or inside (in the interior of) the triangle.

@ASLCBH What is taking so long? :)

I'm sorry, my computer was acting up. I'm going to guess the inside of the triangle because my teacher told me it would "always" be the inside.

Directrix (directrix):

Correct. I understand about the computer problem. Usually, mine runs slowly because of scripts. Now, my mail program on OS and my profile page won't "work."
